I found this great product for the Nexus 4. It was probably designed for an iphone originally, although they market it for all smartphones. It costs $15 bucks with free shipping and it is a no-brainer at that price.
This stand holds your phone through micro suction pads, so it probably wont work with many cases. I have tried it with the S-line TPU case and it did not hold the phone, although the stand has a small lip on the bottom that will hold any phone that does not stick to it. That being said for those of you that have your Nexus 4 naked, or with any kind of bumper then this product works great. I use it by my desk to hold my phone upright when not in use.
First let me talk about the design. It is a very simple L-shaped stand. It has a micro-suction pad on the bottom and on the face (which holds your phone) these pads are amazingly sticky on smooth surfaces. I have tried it on marble (which is extremely sticky) and on faux wood (which is still very sticky. The Milo holds your phone incredibly well. I would even trust it for holding your phone upside down. I should mention that I have a best skins ever skin on the back of the device and it still holds rock solid. In landscape mode you can push the volume buttons, and the unlock button with one finger, and push hard and your device will not fall. The micro suction pad does get dirty and less sticky, but it can be easily cleaned by sticking some packing tape or clear tape to it and removing it.
Overall I highly recommend this product, Check it out at http://www.bluelounge.com/products/milo/. Let me know if you have any questions and look at the pictures below,

I actually bought the charging orb too but for me this dock is a no brainer at $15, Its very useful. Even in your car or anywhere you need to set your phone down.
I also got one in white when I had my S3. It only works well with phones with a flat back, tried to use it with a Xperia S and it would not stick. Works perfectly with my Nexus 4 with the official bumper on.
Thanks man!

Friend of mine ordered the smaller version of the tunebelt and he's ecstatic over it. He's been through a couple too.
My wife loves her tunebelt, not too expensive on amazon either.

Thanks for reply guys!
I was looking at the same model.
AlgorithmX, because you have it, could you comment on quality and usability. I need this thing mostly for sports. It's kind of difficult to judge on picture. Does touch still works through that plastic? How it holds moisture? And how good is velcro?
I posted in the Vibrant and i9000 forums, but I got the larger version of the Tune Belt. It fits with my phone still inside it's TPU case which is what I was looking for. I think the smaller version would be too tight if you want to keep it in your case.
If you have above average sized biceps, you will need the extension as the band is one of the shorter ones I've seen, but luckily the extension is very cheap and works well.
Here are some pics.

Thanks for good pictures!
No hole for a headphones cord?
And how do I know what is bigger/smaller version? I have only thin silicone on my phone and do not want to take it off every time.

The headphone cord comes out of the flap at the top. I can take a picture later, but it's the same open you slide the phone into, so there's plenty of room.
The model numbers tell you if it's the smaller one or larger one. As you can see in my pics, my phone has a TPU case on it and fits very well inside the armband.
AB82 = Smaller
AB83 = Larger
Finally got my paws on it and used it for a while.
IMHO, this armband is useless for sports. It is like a sponge!
I got bigger version and it fits the phone in the silicon case. However seams inside do not allow plastic to touch the screen, so it's pretty difficult to control phone on the run.

I'm assuming you're talking about the TuneBelt right? If so, it's neoprene. While it may "retain" sweat/moisture, it shouldn't absorb it, neoprene is basically sweat proof. It "retains" some of it temporarily, because the material is breathable (which you definitely want) I have the smaller ab82 that I used with my Touch Pro, and I can tell you from using it at the gym a bunch, if you check it a few hours later, it should be bone dry again as the sweat evaporates out of it, doesn't leave it gross or smelly, etc. Wetsuits are made out of the same material for this sorta reason.
As for the seams on the screen.. ya it looked that way in the pictures above. Still, looks to be the only good solution out currently for phones as big as ours.
I got my power skin and I'm liking it at first volume buttons felt weird but all good now. Speaker sounds good and the little bump in the right for those that feel like they gonna drop the phone, overall I recommended it doesn't have an amazin protection but good enough , will give battery test on the weekend

Yeah it does but on my testing there is no problems taking pictures at night which sometimes you do with cases the snug the camera too much so yeah
great concept although i would've much prefer that they somehow fix that hump so it doesn't make the phone look so thick. i'd be okay with an extra 500 - 1000mah in power to make the profile as slim as possible. great idea but execution could be better, especially for the asking price.
Btw guys until June 5th you can use this promo code to get $10 off

Great find, that is an even better coupon than the one I had. So far I have mixed feelings towards this case. Here are my thoughts:
Pros:
The case gives it a heaftier feel overall, more like the phones I am used to.
The bump on the side actually makes it easier to hold.
More protection against drops.
Obviously longer up time on the phone.
Both can charge at the same time.
The case feels nice to the touch.
Cons:
The phone doesn't slide into my pocket anymore and is a lint magnet.
I have to get a new arm band phone holder for bike riding, it is hard to fit in and the rubber really makes it tough.
I'm not super impressed with the battery life, I get a whole day now with heavy usage, but I was thinking it would at least give me two days of up time, not sure why they couldn't have at least the same MA as the main battery.
Overall I'm pleased with the purchase, this will definitely help me out when travelling. But it does take a nice slim phone and really makes it a big bulky phone. I may not use it all the time, but it will be good to carry around as a back up. It should work better for me in the winter when I carry it in a jacket pocket as opposed to pants/shorts.
Search Amazon for PowerGen portable charges. For less than $50 you can get two of the 2900mAh version, which fit nicely in your pocket, and only need to be attached to the phone when your battery is low, instead of always. This phone is to sexy for that PowerSkin monstrosity.

I was originally worried about http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LM04T6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01 this case but it turned out to be quite nice. it does add bulk tho so i would reccomend it to travelers and those who work in non office areas, perfect for cafe's and other busy places. best thing is both cameras work with no obstruction, and can separate for days you know you wont be using the keyboard, and then it looks real slim, pockets for everything see pics below and ask any questions, there is suede on the inside it looks real premium

Great photos. Thanks for that. I'm waiting on mine to arrive from the US (must be stuck on a boat somewhere). What youhave described is perfect for what I need the case for.
I happen to have essentially the same one, save mine doesn't have the SD card holders (although I remember them being advertised, I do not need them so I let it slide). I commute by train (4 to 5 hours per shift), and so far it has behaved commendably. It is bulky, but it does feel a bit safer than having the TF700 all naked in my bag.The corners are free, though, so if dropped on a corner the device will still suffer quite a bit.
End of story: even with a case, don't drop it?
PS: what I like as well is that the flap that folds over the screen backwards makes the tablet/dock combination quite a bit more stable when you let the contraption rest on it. Wow, that is unclear, but I do not know how to phrase it more clearly. Let's try this.
__/\ << = keyboard, screen, folding flap
I received mine today from Amazon and haven't quite decided if I like it or not.
Pros:
The case seems to be built well with quality materials. The leather and solid flaps will definitely protect it from the elements, to an extent. The leather is smooth and soft but easy to hold on to. It's like carrying around a book.
Cons:
The bulk is significantly more than I was hoping for. With the tablet and dock folded in it's about 2 inches thick, and this is before I've put any papers in the flap.
The tablet strap is less than 1cm wide and has a small piece of Velcro to keep the tablet from slipping out if you don't have it docked. That's it, 1cm of Velcro, not that reassuring.
The dock's elastic straps block both the USB port and the Charging port. Moving them aside every time you need to use the ports is possible but an extra hassle.
If I should decide to carry it without the dock, the case doesn't stay closed well, is loose and baggy on the edge, and I'm going to be afraid that the tablet will fall out since a 1cm piece of Velcro is all that would be holding it in.
I'll probably be returning this case and wonder if the RooCase TF201 cases will fit the TF700. I may have to wait for the TF700 cases to come out.
So far I like it fits the phone almost to well was really hard to get off I got the grey one. was a bit pricey but IMO worth it.

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...
you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection
Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.
Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.
Here some pictures:

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)
Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.
I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.
Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

I just got this case today, and so far I'm loving it. The case feels very comfortable to hold.
The material feels very nice and high quality.
Its capable of standing horizontally for watching youtube videos or anything else you do in landscape mode.
The front, back, and closing strap all have magnets built in. When using the case as a stand, the closing strap can be bent backwards to the back of the case and it stays thanks to the magnets, keeping it out of the way.
I don't have a scale capable of weighing the case, but it doesn't add too much weight.
This has 3 card slots as seen below. Once you put a card in a few times, it gets a little looser, making it easier to insert them. The more cards you add, the bigger it will look when closed. With my 3 cards inserted, the case still closes with no fuss.
The case does stick out around the camera and flash. Even though it does, the flash is not crippled by this. To take pictures, you have to keep the wallet flap portion out of the way as it will cover the lens.
The plastic holster you see (where you insert the phone) has a small lip that surrounds the phone to protect it if you were to drop it on the face. I found it easier to insert the top portion first.

For only about $8, this is hard to beat.
If you would like anymore information or images, let me know
This might ruin it for you, but I got the same case in the Seafoam Green colour, and enjoyed it somewhat at first. Then my friend showed me his "screen auto-turn on" wallet case, and let me try it for a weekend. I could never go back to this case afterwards. I then went, on the double, back to Amazon to purchase his case, and have been happy with it since: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C54IEI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah, it took me a long while too, until I got the name of the manufacturer off the case itself. Don't know why it isn't prominent in Amazon searches.
whoa the one suggested by king cole seems much cooler since i've been using s-view cover...but sadly enough they don't sell it on amazon canada
